FIGHT OF THE WEEKEND

Kell Brook (30-0) v Vyacheslav Senchenko (34-1) KELL Brook takes on the man who retired Ricky Hatton in an intriguing clash at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield on Saturday. The fight is an IBF welterweight title eliminator with the winner going on for a crack at the belt held by Devon Alexander. Brook had his meeting with Alexander scuppered three times through injury (he pulled out twice, Alexander once) but he is unbeaten in 30 fights and returned to action with an impressive display in his second meeting with the dangerous Carson Jones. Meanwhile, Senchenko recovered from the first loss of his career, against Paulie Malignaggi for the WBA title last year, to stop Hatton and then Carlos Jerez in his only fight of 2013. Brook has home advantage, but Senchenko ruined Hatton's comeback party in Manchester and he is a powerful puncher. So is the Englishman, meaning a quality and entertaining scrap is expected with Brook proving his class and book another meeting with Alexander.
